Welcome, teachers!
The Cliburn was founded 1962 by two music educators, Dr. Irl Allison, head of the National Guild of Piano Teachers and Grace Lankford of the Fort Worth Piano Teachers Forum. Music education is still a cause near and dear to our hearts at the Cliburn. Our education programs bring virtuosic music and fun directly to your students. Whether in-person or online, you'll find activities that help build musical fluency and create lifelong learners that are excited to participate in the arts.

Cliburn in the Classroom
Cliburn in the Classroom is an interactive concert experience designed specifically for elementary audiences. We bring our own Steinway baby grand piano into every school, along with a virtuoso pianist to perform impressive music. A teaching-artist leads students through activities and bridges connections between the music and theme of the program.

Cliburn Kids Video Series
For our youngest Cliburn friends! Cliburn Kids is a collection of wonderfully entertaining 7- to 10-minute videos designed to introduce children to the fun of classical music. How does music paint pictures, tell stories, express feelings? Host Buddy Bray and guest artists use individual pieces to explore topics that delve into the way music is organized and structured, counting and rhythm, expressive elements, and sometimes just lighthearted enjoyment!
